After the first half ended 0-0, Villarreal had a problem in the opening minute of the second half. Santi Comesaña arrived late and hit Prados with a stomp. Close to the play, the referee presented the second yellow card to the midfielder, who ended up being sent off.
Taking advantage of the numerical advantage, Bilbao opened the scoring in the 20th minute. Villalibre crossed into the area and found Guruzeta, who headed the ball for Sancet to hit the first time into the back of the net.
When the game already seemed to be decided, the referee, with the help of VAR, awarded a penalty for Villarreal in stoppage time, more precisely in the 46th minute. Baena tried to finish, but the ball ended up touching Yuri’s arm. With the kick, Parejo tied the game.
